Why can’t Helen Keller be president?

Because she’s dead.

Said entirely straightfaced. 50/50 shot of making someone laugh or making them give you a weird look. Bonus, most of the time people say because she’s a woman. Ha! Sexists, the lot of you!

A little boy was late for school and the teacher asked him what caused the delay
He looked solemnly into her eyes and answered,
“I was following a slow dog.”

Does “A guy walked into a bar and said ‘Ow’” count? That always makes me snicker a little, as does the stick one critter mentioned.

@critter1982: Damn it! That’s mine! I love that one. >:) Good choice.

@Blondesjon: That reminds me of one of my other favorite Helen Keller jokes. One of my best friends, Zack (who is gay and has always made it a point to be tolerant of all people and become their defender against idiots), told it to me in the middle of the night at a lake with swans waddling around us and swimming about. Full moon, just a lovely oddly perfect night. Suddenly, he turns to me and with the best poker face I have ever seen, asks me the following:

Zack: Why did Helen Keller’s dog run away, asmo? Why would he?
Me: Uh…I don’t know, did he really?—
Zack: YOU WOULD TO IF YOUR NAME WAS NAAHMMNAMMBAMBAMNAAAAAMMUUUUUH.
Me: What. The. Shit. Laughing.

Long pause.

Zack: …Are there any more Doritos?

Seriously. Sometimes I turn around, and he’s just being ridiculous.

So a baboon and a priest walk into a bar and sit down. The bartender says “hey no baboons allowed”. So the baboon rips off the bartenders face and terrorizes the customers.

This is an old one.
Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?

Why do women use make-up and perfume?

Because they’re ugly and they smell.

asmonet's avatar

@AstroChuck: I’ve heard you tell that before. New material, please. :)

No less cute though.
You look like a Little Rascal when I see that avatar next to silly jokes.

@critter1982 some similar jokes:

What are warm and ugly?

(works better spoken than typed)

What is small and grubby?
a grub

What is loud and ***?
a horn

AstroChuck's avatar

Fine, asmonet.
Why did the chicken cross the road?

Because his junk itched and there was a drug store across the street.

There. Never used that one before. Happy?

asmonet's avatar

Incredibly. :D

A duck goes into a pharmacy. He says to the pharmacist, “I need some ointment for my beak. It is very chapped.” The pharmacist says, “We have nothing for ducks here.”

I won’t tell the whole thing, but it goes on about 10 minutes and ends with FUCK YOU CLOWN.

mangeons's avatar

What’s an anti-joke? Is it similar to an un-birthday? :D

asmonet's avatar

@saranwrapper: I’m intrigued. :)

@mangeons: Boo! Not clicking links people take the time to copy and paste! Hang your head in shame.

mangeons's avatar

Silly ‘Mo. IT WAS A JOKE. I’m protesting anti-jokes. PLUS, I’m too lazy to read those wiki articles. I don’t like reading informative things… besides Fluther.

Hrm…

Q:Why couldn’t Barack Obama be a math teacher?

A:Because he’s too busy being the president.

I just came up with that on the spot. I feel like a dork, but I’m PROUD of it! :D

My very favorite is to ask somebody, “Hey, ask me if I’m a truck.”
When they ask, “Are you a truck?”
I answer “No.”

Joker: Is your refrigerator running?
Jokee: Yes
Joker: You better go run after it.

Still not sure if that counts as an anti-joke, but I used to tell that one to my friends on the playground in 5th grade…....and it’s still funny.
